This confirms my belief on what would be the best user experience for
an iPhone application.
However, I have a question. I have a WebObjects application where half
of the user interface uses Google Maps and Ajax/XML backend
communication to the WO server. I want to port this to the iPhone as
more than a web application. I can see that the WO/XML backend would
not be a problem, but does anybody have a clue how I would use Google
Maps inside an iPhone Cocoa application?
I'm displaying my ignorance here, having never used Cocoa. Perhaps it
has a WebKit module that can display the Google content, but what
about Javascript communication between the WebKit component and the
iPhone application?
I'm sorry this has drifted so far off topic, but it does have a WO
backend, and I am just about to embark on learning Cocoa and it would
be nice to have a specific goal to motivate me through the hard stuff.
Any thoughts welcome.
Regards
Thomas

Well, I know everyone is going to tell you what the implications are
for creating a WebUI WO application (because that's what almost
everyone here does) for the iPhone, BUT besides Flor's Java Client
presentation, I'm most interested in Andrew Lindesay's talk on
LEWOStuff http://homepage.mac.com/andrewlindesay/le/
page_lestuff.html, specifically the integration of a Cocoa-client
with a WO application.
This will allow for a true iPhone-native application connected to WO
as opposed to a web site that tries to emulate the iPhone UI.

Hello -
I was thinking about playing around with iPhone to my WO apps and was
wondering if anyone on the list was doing this now and if there
were any
suggestions, best practices, or even starting hints.
Thanks
